China Bashing is Grounded in Fear (That They Can Simply Do Better Than the West)

Hard-working people who battle with a health crisis deserve sympathy/empathy, not scolding

Some pandas



Summary: The atmosphere of hate towards China -- fuelled partly by a white supremacist in the White House -- is unhelpful and insulting; dignity and understanding is the way to go

THE corporate media seems eager to humiliate those who suffer most from a pandemic while stigmatising them as "dirty" and "dangerous". I myself am disgusted by it. The red-baiting tactics have long been leveraged by patent maximalists as well (we wrote about this about half a dozen times before) and the Chinese 'threat' is overplayed by those looking to change policies. The European Patent Office (EPO) has made allies with China, plus the obligatory photo-ops of António Campinos and his handler.



"The way I've long viewed the above conundrum, having read about this subject for years, is that China wants to get rid of this old image of "counterfeit" or "knockoff" country." Our main concern about China is that it grants far too many low-quality patents -- including perhaps millions of software patents -- and it has become a lot more lenient than the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) even if judged by pre-35 U.S.C. ۤ 101 days.

The way I've long viewed the above conundrum, having read about this subject for years, is that China wants to get rid of this old image of "counterfeit" or "knockoff" country. To China's credit, its government contacted me about 4 times last year regarding a domain called Techrights that someone wanted to register in China. They eventually blocked that, foreseeing bad faith motivations. I communicated with a number of parties about this and the Chinese government resolved this possibly better than anything I've seen in the West.

"In my personal experience, Chinese law firms are sometimes more honest than people are led to believe."Why is China embracing patent and copyright maximalism (the latter includes computer-generated works now)? Maybe they try to game the system by cheapening the concepts, granting far too many patents on every single bit of nonsense.

In my personal experience, Chinese law firms are sometimes more honest than people are led to believe. Last night we received a call from a Chinese-owned law firm, informing us that they had successfully settled my wife's status (permanent residency). The law firm we took back in 2014 was terrible and rather displeasing. And no, it wasn't Chinese-owned, so here's an example where the Chinese do better, even for a vastly lower fee. Maybe that (fear that they are difficult to compete with) is the real motivation of all that China bashing, which nowadays extends far beyond Huawei (typically accusations that are immensely hypocritical). Dare we use the word "jealousy"?
